Does anyone else’s cat sometimes also like to shuffle away until you can’t reach them?

We adopted this sweet little cat from shelter and after a few months, asked our friend to cat sit for two days. When we returned, our cat was addicted and has not been the same.

The addiction is getting worse, day by day! He comes to me every hour and raises his butt to be slapped. I cannot stop slapping until he gets over stimulated and bites me back. Everytime i think maybe he has had enough but he returns!!! He always returns!!!

I love him and do what i can do to provide for him but my hand hurts. Im slapping him all the time. He is furry so i cant see what its doing to his skin.. maybe its red? Maybe i have caused his bones to dislocate... my own hand is hurting too.. i dont know how to make it stop.

Please pray and share tips on how to recover from this addiction.
